    With all due respect, parents push their children into show biz, and the industry is about making money, not caring what children think. No one expects them to be 'normal' after all of that attention. But she is about the best of the childhood stars to survive all of that growing up, despite her gaffs.

  • @africanqueen2200
    @africanqueen2200 7 років тому +171

    This is the interview that should have went viral instead of the Oprah interview. Raven is real in this interview & let's you inside her world. You can tell that being a child actress had messed her up in the head because she says that it feels like she has 3 different brains. People are always focused on the negative things, they picked out one thing she said in the Oprah interview & tore her down about it. If they would have watched this interview they would have understood Raven better.

      @KeKe4Christ 5 років тому +16

      That Oprah interview went left because Oprah made a big deal about something even she didn't understand. Raven said that she didn't believe American born blacks should be called African Americans. Oprah acted like Raven said the most blasphemous thing which in turn made fake woke black people hate and turn on her. She's right, African born and American raised are the true African-Americans, we as black Americans don't know our true lineage so we're simply American. She never denied her blackness or shied away from it. I've always loved Raven and people act like her sexuality makes her ugly or whatever and honestly hearing her story makes me admire her strength and resilience that much more. She's still just as sweet as she was on The Cosby Show.

      It seems like she’s trying to un-compartmentalize herself now, to follow the metaphor the public got mad when someone disturbed all those neat boxes in a row, even if it’s the person who made them. Hearing her here, I’ll bet she knew that Oprah interview went terrible even before she left the set!

    All the people saying "Who cares" are missing the point. Yes other's opinion on her or anyone else's sexuality are unimportant, what matters is self worth but the fact remains that so many young people growing up DO NOT understand this or learn to be happy with themselves. Those are the people that need this video and those are the people that need to watch this.
    If Raven's sexuality doesn't matter to you congratulations, you aren't the person this video is intended for move on and let the people growing up who need to hear this watch without reading your nonsense. These comments ARE the reason videos like this are needed for our questioning youth.

      and it's not always about that , especially when you're young it's about that Bond you feel with someone. if you are a guy you start to bond that way with girls and vice versa. you can't force someone into that it just happens naturally. For her she naturally bonded with females. please stop repeating what you hear people say. no one is trying to turn the world gay... geez

    "My "bucket list" was complete by age 18"... that is so awesome and sooooo sad at the same time. Awesome because she was fortunate enough to be able to complete hers' at all, but sad because if by age 18 you already feel like there's nothing else for you to look forward to then that's enough to send most young people into a deep depression, but the fact that she didn't turnout to be like so many other "Hollywood child stars" is a true testament to her parents, whatever support system she surrounded herself with, and her own willingness to raise above it all. I've always loved this young lady, but this interview just made me respect her so much more.

      Raven is a lesbian and she refuses to even say she is one because she doesn't think that category should exists. She thinks love is love.. Without these categories and labels people would be still living in ignorance and people wouldn't have a cause to fight for. She also is ignorant about her ethnicity/race and refuses to say she's a black woman.. she carries this weird distorted insecureness about who she is. She needs to work on self love before she preaches and brainwashes these young kids about not believing in labels. We as a society are not there yet. you can't jump from 0 to 100.. baby steps eventually the world will be there.

    When I feel like watching porn I also feel a demon eating at my soul tormenting me until I stumble. Demons flee from me when I resist because God doesn’t let them go on forever.
    I feel like there’s no other choice but to do it and that it’ll never go away but it does. The devil has a special way of lying that makes your whole being believe it and I have no idea how he does it.
    I still struggle but at least for this moment right now I have a little bit of peace and rest and I’m thankful to God.
    I need to be ready for when I’m tried again. Them demons are just anxious to see us stumble

      Nah dude thats reality given to you in just 7 words. Thats the biggest issue with young actors that gets overlooked bigtime. She was raised to act and be in a different mind set in order to do so giving her a lot of different personas and exposing her mind at an early age to other emotions that arent real but forced to feel real in order to be a good actor. Like dissociative identity disorder but using it as a talent, for an adult putting yourself in those positions takes memories. Imagine starting as a fucking child. She had to make up those emotions and make it real to be as good. And that fucked up a lot of hollywood kids that started as actors. Luckily raven didnt fall too hard into drugs and managed to get her head straight and cope with it but childhood stardom really messed her brain up and sense of self. Shes strong for really looking for who she truly was instead of Hollywood delusions. It makes a lot of sense if you dont think so narrow minded about it.
